Re: The eleventy-hundredth HTPC build
You might want to reconsider the SSD choice - .... Thanks for the info on these. I agree people can get very carried away with benchmark figures and this drive is x points faster than that one... Real world use is far less obvious. I've convinced myself now to go with a 2.5inch non-ssd drive. If fo...

Re: Gigabyte Odin Pro 800W fan replacement. Lessons learnt!!
That is a bit above my ability I'm afraid - although if I had've known this would beforehand I probably would've given it ago. I still could in the future I guess. I wouldn't know the right size etc so would have to do more research. I've got enough on the plate for the moment. Thanks for the idea t...

Gigabyte Odin Pro 800W fan replacement. Lessons learnt!!
G'day all, I'm using a Gigabyte Odin Pro 800W PSU which I have been generally very happy with - until a few months ago when one of the bearings came loose? and started jumping around in their making a horrible noise. The fan still operated correctly and I put up with it for ages, until that is, I go...

Re: Building a quiet PC from scratch, need advice on compone
G'day harpocratos! As you can see from my post count, I'm pretty new to this silent stuff myself - but it's surprisingly got me hooked and I am much more intolerant of the sound levels emitting from my PC since reading through these forums the last few days. I guess what I'm trying to say though, is...

Re: The eleventy-hundredth HTPC build
If this machine was holding all of my movies I certainly would agree with you. My plan is to have all my movies, music etc on a home server that will have terrabytes of room. The HTPCs only need enough to store tv recordings temporirarly. Once a show has been recorded it will be automatically moved ...

Re: The eleventy-hundredth HTPC build
This post may not make sense by the time it hits the thread, however I'm now convinced on only having the single drive, be it ssd or not. I'm really considering swapping out the ssd and replacing it with a wd scorpio blue 320gig, which from what I can tell should be virtually silent anyway? I intend...

Re: The eleventy-hundredth HTPC build
I'd love the ability to rdp in to these machines but I guess this is not a huge priority... Will see how the Missus responds to the $$ figure when I tell herJim G wrote:Do you need W7 Pro? You might save a few bucks and get Home if not...

The eleventy-hundredth HTPC build
Hey guys. I've enjoyed losing a few hours reading through the pages here and want to thank you all already for a great and informative site. After much deliberation, I plucked the courage to post my HTPC planned build for any thoughts and comments. This will be a purely HTPC, not gaming or serving f...
